Such Distribution rights are non-exclusive throughout the Territory to MSD and its Affiliates and Marketing Partners, unless expressly indicated otherwise in Exhibit A. MSDs Distribution rights include the right for MSD to authorize its Affiliates and Marketing Partners to Distribute Implants to the full extent of MSDs rights to so Distribute; provided, however, that MSDs agreements with its Affiliates and Marketing Partners shall contain terms sufficient to require said Affiliates and Marketing Partners to be bound by Medtronics Code of Business Conduct which is available on Medtronics website: http://www.medtronic.com/corporate-governance/principles-and-ethics/global-business-conduct-policy/index.htm. For reference purposes, the current version of the Medtronics U.S. Business Conduct Standards and Code of Conduct is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
2.2. Distribution Activities. MSD will use commercially reasonable efforts to Distribute the Implants in the Territory in the Field. MSDs Distribution efforts may include development of collateral marketing materials, surgical training, attendance at professional tradeshows, and pre-clinical and clinical studies, at MSDs cost. MSD shall provide RTI with a reasonable opportunity to review and approve all marketing and collateral materials relating to the Implants, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. MSD shall have sole discretion to establish the transfer fee terms and other terms and conditions in connection with the Distribution of the Implants to MSDs customers, provided that such transfer fees and other terms and conditions comply with Applicable Laws.
2.3. Right to Compete.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit MSD from manufacturing, marketing or distributing allograft tissue or other products that compete either directly or indirectly, with Implants; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed as conferring any license or other right, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, under any Intellectual Property Rights of RTI.
(b) Supply Shortfall. In the event of a Supply Shortfall with respect to Implants Manufactured by RTI for MSD, MSD shall have the right to utilize Third Party suppliers for the purpose of filling its shortfall with respect to the affected Implants until such time as RTI reasonably establishes its ability to meet and maintain capacity sufficient to meet MSDs demand for such affected Implants, but in no event will MSDs right to utilize a Third Party supplier for such purpose be less than one year (the Supply Shortfall Period). During a Supply Shortfall Period, MSD will continue ordering affected Implants from RTI to the extent RTI can supply such Implants. MSD shall have a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one (1) year, following the Supply Shortfall Period during which to wind-down its supply arrangement with any Third Party supplier utilized during the Supply Shortfall Period.

If RTI disputes the disclosed error and/or omissions, and provided the Parties are unable to reach a negotiated resolution within two (2) weeks of RTI providing MSD with notice of such dispute, the Parties will engage the services of a mutually agreeable accounting firm to audit the findings, and the results of such audit shall be binding on the Parties. RTI shall bear the initial cost of such audit. If, however, such error and/or omission results in an error to RTIs benefit exceeding five (5%) of the alleged error and/or omission disclosed by MSD, MSD shall bear the cost of such audit. In the event of an underpayment by RTI to MSD exceeding five percent (5%) of the royalties due and owing in any particular period, RTI shall pay MSD for its out-of-pocket costs and expenses and an additional fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such underpayment. Neither such right to examine and audit nor the right to receive such additional fee shall be affected by any statement to the contrary appearing on checks or otherwise and shall not relieve RTI of it obligations to make the payments required hereunder.
ARTICLE III
TISSUE TRANSFER ORDERS
3.1. Forecasts and Distribution Summaries. On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month, MSD shall issue to RTI a good faith, twelve (12) month rolling forecast reflecting the anticipated quantities and requested delivery dates of the Implants, by catalog number, that MSD expects to order (the Rolling Forecast). The first sixty (60) days of each Rolling Forecast (as determined by the requested delivery dates) will be binding on MSD (such portion of the Rolling Forecast being the Binding Forecast). Each Binding Forecast will specify the Tissue Transfer Order number(s), if yet submitted, applicable to such Implants covered by the Binding Forecast. The remaining portion of the Rolling Forecast shall be a good faith, non-binding projection used by RTI for purposes of anticipating and facilitating the lead times needed by RTI to supply Implants by the requested delivery date. In addition, MSD will
10
Confidential Treatment Requested
provide RTI with a quarterly summary of the number of Implants Distributed by MSD and its Affiliates and Marketing Partners in the prior quarter, as well as a summary of Implants held in their respective inventories.
(a) To the extent the requested quantity of an Implant designated for a given delivery date in the Binding Forecast exceeds by more than ******** the requested quantity for such Implant in the Rolling Forecast for the immediately preceding month (i.e. the month immediately before the requested quantity of the Implant became binding on MSD), such excess above the ten percent increase will not be counted for the purpose of determining a Supply Shortfall.
(b) From time to time, and upon the request of a Party at a mutually agreeable time and location, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, the Parties will meet to discuss the status of MSDs then present inventory of Implants and anticipated future needs.
3.2. Tissue Transfer Orders. MSD will submit to RTI orders for Implants correlating to the Binding Forecast and further specifying the Implants Point of Destination and the identity of the MSD Affiliate to be invoiced (Tissue Transfer Orders). Tissue Transfer Orders will be firm and binding on MSD. Due to the inherent nature of tissue donation which results in variability in the amount of tissue available from tissue recovery organizations for subsequent transfer to tissue processors, such as RTI, for processing into Implants, each Tissue Transfer Order is subject to acceptance by RTI. Within five (5) Business Days following RTIs receipt of a Tissue Transfer Order, RTI will notify MSD of the number of Implants accepted for supply to MSD by the requested delivery date (Confirmed Order).
3.3. Fulfillment of Orders. RTI will timely deliver to MSD those Implants accepted by RTI in the applicable Confirmed Orders. Timely delivery for purposes of this Agreement will be deemed fulfilled when Implants are delivered to MSD within five (5) Business Days before or after MSDs requested delivery date. Though recognized by the Parties as an important customer relationship tool, MSDs Supplier Scorecard shall not be deemed evidence of performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent the number of Implants subject to a Tissue Transfer Order exceeds the number of Implants accepted by RTI in the Confirmed Order, RTI will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the excess Implants to MSD as soon as commercially practicable.
3.4. Interim Orders. In addition to Tissue Transfer Orders correlating to the Binding Forecast, MSD may submit additional orders for Implants in excess of the amount specified in the Binding Forecast (an Interim Order). RTI agrees to respond in writing to each Interim Order within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, specifying the volumes accepted for production and the estimated date(s) by which said Implants could be delivered. Interim Orders will not be counted for the purpose of determining a Supply Shortfall.
3.5. Shipping. RTI shall package, Label, store and ship the Implants in compliance with Applicable Laws (including cGTPs), all applicable Specifications and in accordance with good commercial and industry practice. The Implants corresponding to Tissue Transfer Orders will be shipped FOB point of origin to the facility designated by MSD in such corresponding Tissue Transfer Order via nationally recognized courier of MSDs choice, e.g. FedEx or UPS. If
11

MSD does not specify a courier, RTI may select among such nationally recognized couriers in its own discretion. Shipments will be made at least once per week at RTIs sole cost and expense, provided such shipments are to MSDs facility located in Memphis, Tennessee. MSD shall reimburse RTI for actual and reasonable expenses incurred by RTI in expediting shipments or making additional shipments pursuant to Interim Orders at MSDs request. MSD shall reimburse RTI for the actual and reasonable difference in increased expenses incurred by RTI for (i) shipments to facilities designated by MSD other than its facility located in Memphis, Tennessee, or (ii) to the extent the shipping charges of a courier selected by MSD are more than ******** greater than FedEx or UPS (whichever is lower) would have charged RTI for the same shipment.
3.6. Nonconforming Implants. MSD shall have a reasonable right of inspection to verify that the Implants conform to the terms of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days of MSDs receipt of Implants at the Point of Destination, MSD shall inform RTI of any claim that a shipment fails to conform. If such notice is not provided to RTI within the prescribed time frame, and except for latent defects, MSD shall be deemed to have accepted the shipment of the Implants as being in conformity with this Agreement. In the event a purported defect in an Implant is detected, regardless of whether such purported defect is discovered during the aforementioned inspection period or is a latent defect, MSD will notify RTI, pursuant to Section 12.7, of any related warranty claim. RTI shall bear all costs of return (including freight and insurance) for defective Implants and shall replace the defective Implant without charge to MSD (including payment of freight and insurance for delivery of the replacement Implant). Returns shall be made in accordance with the return policy set forth in Exhibit D (the Return Policy).
(a) Latent Defects. With respect to latent defects, MSD shall promptly notify RTI after receiving notification from an End User of such End Users discovery thereof, and MSD and such End User shall have the right to reject such Implant. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision of the Return Policy, MSD shall be permitted to reject Implants due to latent defects at any time after discovery of such latent defects or at any time after receiving notification from a End User of such End Users discovery of such latent defects. Any notification of rejection to RTI shall state the basis for the rejection.

The Path from Recovery to Implantation
Donor Screening
Serological & Microbiological Testing
Tissue before processing
Tissue shaped into final form
Through its innovations, RTI Biologics, Inc.
(RTI) continuously raises the bar of science and
safety for biologics from being the first company to
offer precision-tooled bone implants and assembled
technology, to inventing fully validated sterilization
processes that include viral inactivation steps. Three
such processesthe BioCleanse®Tissue Sterilization
Process, the Tutoplast® Tissue Sterilization Process
and Cancelle® DBM Sterilization Process have a
proven combined record of more than four million
implants distributed with zero incidence of implant-associated
infection. Validation studies have been
performed for each process based on tissue type
using appropriate challenge microorganisms.
Serological Testing (for every donor):
HCV Antibody
HTLV-I & HTLV-II Antibody
HBV Surface Antigen
Syphilis
HIV 1 & 2 Antibody
HIV-I/NAT
HBV Total Core Antibody
HCV/NAT
After consent/authorization for donation is obtained, donor history
screening and laboratory testing is performed in accordance
with FDA regulations and AATB Standards.
Screening for Patient Safety
A complete donor risk assessment interview must be performed for every
donor including:
Cause of death: Donors are only accepted if cause of death is
established.
Donor Risk Assessment:
RTI receives donated tissue from independently licensed recovery agencies
which screen for safety prior to recovery, including conducting an interview
with the family/next of kin and a behavioral/lifestyle risk assessment.
Following receipt of tissue from the recovery agency, RTI evaluates
records from the recovery agency and performs the following donor risk
assessment:
Medical record/hospital records review
Medical examiner/coroners report (autopsy report, when available)
Laboratory, pathology and radiology reports
The final determination of donor eligibility is made by RTIs medical director
a licensed physician utilizing all available, relevant information.
Testing for Patient Safety
An extensive panel of serological and microbiological tests are performed.
These results are subject to stringent acceptance criteria in order to release
the donor tissue.
In addition to serological testing on the donors blood, microbiological testing
is used throughout the process (where appropriate) to screen for potential
contamination and to provide confirmation of tissue suitability for transplant.
3 Sterilization Processes Overview
BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process
Bone and sports medicine soft tissue
Low temperature chemical process
BIOCLEANSE®
TISSUE STERILIZATION PROCESS
Tissue sterilized to SAL 10-6
Bone grafts are terminally sterilized by a validated method. Sports medicine tendons are not terminally irradiated.
Cancelle® SP DBM Sterilization Process
DBM pastes and putties
Bone undergoes demineralization
Low-temperature terminal irradiation
CANCELLE®SP
DBM STERILIZATION PROCESS
Sterile finished graft
For most DBM-based implants**, the irradiation dose is applied terminally to achieve an SAL of 10-6.
BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process
RTI Biologics allograft constructs/spacers and sports medicine soft tissue implants are sterilized to Sterility Assurance Level 10-6 through its patented BioCleanse Tissue Sterilization Process, an automated, pharmaceutical grade process. BioCleanse sterilization is used on grafts that provide a natural biologic scaffold in orthopedic, spine and sports medicine procedures.
How does the BioCleanse Process work?
The BioCleanse system sterilizes tissue to SAL 10-6 using a complex, proprietary combination of mechanical and chemical processes, working in conjunction with each other. The mechanical component applies oscillating positive and negative pressure in the presence of the chemical agents (including detergents and sterilants), which gently perfuse the tissue. This combination removes blood and lipids, and inactivates or removes pathogenic microorganisms. Repeated water rinses throughout the process remove debris, and final water rinses remove residual chemicals, leaving the tissue biocompatible. The BioCleanse Process does not sterilize using irradiation.
Even if other safeguards fail, RTIs BioCleanse technology sterilizes both bone and soft tissue to SAL 10-6. This SAL was established using worst case testing scenarios which included Achilles tendon (because of its dense nature) and spores (because they are the most difficult microorganisms to remove).
Cancelle® SP DBM Sterilization Process
DBM pastes and putties are sterilized through the Cancelle SP Process, which is a validated bone matrix sterilization process designed to preserve protein activity. Their osteoinductive (OI) potential*is verified by 100% lot testing after sterilization. In their final form, the DBM products serve as bone void fillers in many applications, including spinal, general orthopedic and joint reconstruction surgeries.
How does the Cancelle SP Process work?
Cancelle SP is a proprietary process that sterilizes DBM while simultaneously allowing it to maintain its osteoinductive* potential. Through a combination of oxidative treatments and acid or alcohol washes, debris is removed and pathogens are inactivated. Cleansing rinses remove residual chemicals, maintaining biocompatibility, and low temperature, low dose gamma irradiation preserves the utility of the graft. For most DBM-based products**, the irradiation dose is applied terminally to achieve a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6.
*DBM or representative finished implant is either assayed in vivo in the modified athymic nude rat for bone formation or in vitro for endogenous BMP-2 as a surrogate test marker for osteoinductive potential. Because the combination of various proteins is responsible for osteoinductive potential, when assayed in vitro, DBM is also screened for the presence of BMP-7. Findings from an in vitro assay or animal model are not necessarily predictive of human clinical results.

surrogate test marker for osteoinductive potential. Because the combination of various proteins is responsible for osteoinductive potential, when assayed in vitro,
DBM is also screened for the presence of BMP-7. Findings from an in vitro assay or animal model are not necessarily predictive of human clinical results.

Global Business Conduct Standards Policy
ON INTERACTIONS WITH CUSTOMERS
Introduction
Our Mission is to make and sell devices that alleviate pain, restore health and extend life. We recognize that healthcare professionals those best suited to understand the needs of their patients, the performance of medical devices in the clinical setting and unmet treatment needs are critical partners in our ability to fulfill our Mission. We collaborate with physicians to create new products and therapies and to improve existing products. We provide world-class training and education on the safe and effective use of our products and therapies to healthcare professionals. We sponsor scientific research conducted by healthcare professionals to gather clinical evidence related to our products. All of these interactions are for the ultimate benefit of patients.
In no instance will Medtronic offer or provide a payment to a Customer as an unlawful inducement to purchase, lease, recommend, use, arrange for the purchase or lease of, or prescribe a Medtronic product. We define Customer to include any institution or individual, other than an individual patient, including any medical or healthcare professional or entity, in a position to purchase, lease, recommend, use, arrange for the purchase or lease of, or prescribe Medtronic products. Medtronic also considers persons employed by a Customer, a close family member of a Customer (including spouse or life partner, their children and parents of the Customer) or an organization affiliated with a Customer (meaning that it is controlled by or under common control with the Customer or if the Customer is on the Board of the organization, receives material compensation from, or has an investment interest in the organization) to be within scope when determining whether an entity or individual should be treated as a Customer under our policies.
We are committed to adhering to applicable laws regarding physician-initiated use of our products and respect a physicians right to make independent medical decisions when treating patients. Our marketing, education and promotional activities are consistent with these commitments, and we comply with governing laws regarding appropriate promotion of our products.

Statement of Principles
Partnership between industry and its Customers must be based on solid ethical principles, as it presents the potential for conflicts of interest. These conflicts, both real and perceived, can affect patient and stakeholder confidence in clinicians, products, companies and the entire industry. To sustain and enhance medical innovation through principled cooperation so that patients continue to benefit from advances in medical care, Medtronic is guided by two central principles:
Preserve the integrity of the physician-patient relationship
The relationship between physician and patient is a uniquely trusting one because of the special role that physicians play in saving and enhancing human life. Appropriate safeguards and regulations are necessary to ensure these relationships are not compromised by the cooperation between a physician and industry in the development and testing of new products, or the training and education of other physicians on the safe and effective use of products.
Remain transparent
To provide patients and physicians with information to make informed treatment decisions, and to develop trust and minimize actual and perceived conflicts, Medtronic is committed to transparency and appropriate disclosure of policies regarding its relationships with Customers. We believe also that promoting greater transparency into collaboration with Customers will help people better understand the critical role that these interactions play in innovation, advancing patient care, and ultimately, saving and improving lives.
Global Business Conduct Policy | Page 2 of 8 |
Commitment to Ethics and Compliance
Medtronic has adopted and fully embraces certain local industry codes of ethics, for example, the AdvaMed Code, the Eucomed Code, and many others. The Medtronic Global Anti-Corruption Policy (ACP) sets forth guiding principles across Medtronic for avoiding any corrupt interactions with Customers. The Medtronic Global Business Conduct Standards (BCS) give more specific instructions for common categories of interactions with Customers. Where additional local requirements or exceptions are necessary for conforming this common approach to local rules, or additional information is needed for local operation of the BCS, those local provisions are provided in the BCS Playbook (in the U.S.) and the BCS International Procedures. Medtronic requires its employees, and others acting on its behalf to follow the ACP, BCS, and applicable BCS Playbook or BCS International Procedures, as well as all other applicable laws, regulations, company policies and industry standards whenever interacting with Customers. Medtronic will address violations of the BCS and related policies promptly and with appropriate corrective action. See the Global Code of Conduct and BCS Violations Procedure.
The BCS provides a framework to guide interactions across the globe with Customers that purchase, lease, recommend, use, arrange for the purchase or lease of, or prescribe Medtronic products. Because it cannot account for every situation, exceptions to this policy may be approved where the action contemplated does not raise legal, regulatory or ethical concerns.
Standard 1 | General Provisions
Core Rule. In no instance will Medtronic offer or provide a payment or any other item of value to a Customer as an unlawful inducement to purchase, lease, recommend, use, arrange for the purchase or lease of, or prescribe a Medtronic product. To ensure that all Customer interactions are legal and ethical, they must be consistent with Medtronics Business Conduct Standards.
Scope of Business Conduct Standards. The BCS are mandatory for interactions involving a transfer of anything of value from Medtronic to a Customer (a Customer Interaction). If you are unsure of the scope of the BCS, you must consult with Legal or Compliance before entering into a transaction or initiating a discussion with a Customer.
Business Conduct Standards are Country-Specific. Customers remain subject to the regulations of the country where they are located (healthcare organizations) or where they work (healthcare professionals), irrespective of where the interaction occurs. All Medtronic employees, distributors and agents are expected to become familiar with the BCS and other rules applicable to an individual Customer before initiating an interaction, regardless of the employees geographic location. If you plan to enter into an agreement or other interaction with a Customer who works in a country outside your geography, please contact your compliance or legal contact prior to any negotiation with the Customer. Your compliance or legal contact will help you determine what is required before entering into such interaction.
Compliance with the BCS is required. All Medtronic employees involved in Customer interactions are expected to know and comply with the Global Anti-Corruption Policy, the BCS and the applicable BCS International Procedures (outside the U.S.) or BCS Playbook (U.S.), and any other applicable laws, regulations, company policies, procedures and interpretative guidance. As a requirement of working at Medtronic, all employees are expected to know and follow the BCS. Managers are responsible for ensuring that their reports comply with the BCS and any BCS-related requirements such as mandatory training. Medtronic distributors and agents must be required by contract to comply with the Medtronic Anti-Corruption Policy and with applicable principles of the BCS. See the Medtronic International Distributor and Sales Agent Appointment, Contracting and Management Policy.
If Medtronic is restricted from doing something, so are its employees and third party intermediaries. If these Standards restrict Medtronics interactions with a Customer, Medtronic employees and third party intermediaries are likewise restricted, even if no reimbursement request is made to Medtronic. This means that Medtronic employees or agents may not give prohibited items to Customers even if they pay for them from their own personal funds.
BCS Violations. Employees who violate the BCS are subject to discipline, up to and including termination. See the Global Code of Conduct and BCS Violations Procedure.
Interpretation of Business Conduct Standards. Any employee with questions about the BCS should contact his/her Manager or Legal or Compliance. Distributors and agents should contact their Medtronic business contacts. Legal and Compliance are responsible for final interpretations of the BCS.
Reporting Concerns and Prohibition against Retaliation. Any employee, agent or business consultant who is concerned that others may be engaging in, or requiring that the employee, agent or business consultant engage in, conduct that is inconsistent with the BCS, should discuss the concern with a Manager, the Human Resources department, Legal/Compliance, or contact the confidential Medtronic Voice Your Concern Line at www.VoiceYourConcernLine.com. This website includes phone numbers for the Voice Your Concern Line in the U.S. (1 ###-###-####) and other countries. Reports can be made in many different languages. Retaliation against any individual for making a good faith report of a potential BCS violation is prohibited.
Method of Payment to Customers. Except as specified below, payments to, or on behalf of, or reimbursed to a Customer must be made by a Medtronic bank transfer only (except for countries where payments are made by check). Whenever possible and practical, payment for travel expenses incurred by a Customer (e.g. lodging, meals, or transportation) must be paid directly to the vendor (e.g., the hotel, airline and travel agency). When reimbursement is made to the Customer, original receipts or other supporting documentation are required. When a Customer is expected to pay directly for reimbursable travel expenses, the Customer should be provided with modest per-diem spending guidelines in advance.
Global Business Conduct Policy | Page 3 of 8 |
Exceptions and Amendments to the BCS. Because the BCS cannot account for every situation, exceptions to the BCS may be approved where the action contemplated does not raise legal, regulatory or ethical concerns, following the appropriate Business Conduct Exceptions Process.
BCS Spending Limits. Spending limits are established for business-related expenditures on modest meals, refreshments and lodging; reasonable travel and occasional educational items provided to Customers. In addition, employees are expected to follow any applicable Customer-related restrictions. These include, for example, more restrictive laws or employer policies. See the Authorization Levels in the Worldwide Finance Manual to determine the level of authorization necessary to approve payments. For specific spending limits, see the BCS International Procedures or Playbook.
Proper Reporting of Expenses. Payments and all other benefits transmitted to Customers or on behalf of Customers must be timely reported to Medtronic using the applicable expense reporting system and attributed to individual Customers accurately and completely.
Modest Meals and Refreshments. We may provide modest meals as an occasional business courtesy so long as the meal is incidental to the purpose of the business interaction, provided in a manner and setting conducive to the exchange of information and attended by a Medtronic representative. We will not pay for meals for an individual Customer not in attendance at the meeting. We will not pay for or provide excessive alcohol at business meetings, as excessive alcohol undermines the legitimacy of the business meeting. Such meals or refreshments may be provided to Customers in conjunction with:
| Standard 5 | Business Meetings |
| Standard 6 | Services Arrangements |
| Standard 7 | Training and Education |
| Standard 8 | Third-Party Conferences |
No Entertainment. Medtronic does not provide or pay the costs for a Customers participation in entertainment or recreational events.
No Subsidy of Spouses, Partners or Guests. Medtronic may not pay for meals, other hospitality, travel or lodging for a spouse, partner or other guest of a Customer.
Reasonable Travel. Depending on the local rules, Medtronic may be able to pay reasonable travel costs for Customers in conjunction with:
| Standard 5 | Business Meetings |
| Standard 6 | Services Arrangements |
| Standard 7 | Training and Education |
| Standard 8 | Third-Party Conferences (generally not for U.S. healthcare professionals) |
As a general rule, economy class travel should be used on all flights. The appropriateness of business class travel for Customers, according to Medtronic policy, shall only be considered for certain longer flights in accordance with local policy (see the International Procedures or BCS Playbook). Medtronic will not pay for upgrades, provide Customers cash in lieu of a ticket or pay any costs associated with a private plane.
Locations and Lodging for Customer Interactions. Depending on the local rules, Medtronic may be able to provide modest lodging for Customers in conjunction with the following interactions:
| Standard 5 | Business Meetings |
| Standard 6 | Services Arrangements |
| Standard 7 | Training and Education |
| Standard 8 | Third-Party Conferences (generally not for U.S. healthcare professionals) |
When Medtronic is responsible for selecting location and lodging for a Customer interaction, it must be selected based upon program requirements, convenience of attendees, and cost savings to Medtronic. Where most or all of the Customer attendees are from the same country, the interaction should be held in that country unless there is a legitimate business purpose to hold the meeting elsewhere.
| Medtronic training and education programs requiring hands-on training in surgical procedures should be held at Bakken Educational Centers, surgical training facilities, medical institutions or other facilities appropriate for such purposes. |
| Medtronic manufacturing or research and development facilities may be appropriate locations for business or consultant meetings. |
Requisition and BCS Approval Procedure. Approval processes involving evaluation by qualified, non-sales personnel are required for many Customer interactions (for example consulting agreements, donations and grants all require advance approval according to local processes). See the International Procedures or Playbook for more information. Where an approval process is required by these Standards, Medtronic personnel may not proceed or make a commitment to a Customer before obtaining all required approvals. Failure to obtain the necessary approval may result in a BCS violation.
Training on anti-corruption and the Business Conduct Standards is mandatory for all Medtronic employees interacting with Medtronics Customers. Third Party Intermediaries, such as distributors, consultants or agents are also subject to training requirements. Minimum training requirements are specified on the Legal/Compliance website. Such training may occur at the time of hire, annually, or at such other times as may be required. For questions about required training, contact Legal or Compliance.
Global Business Conduct Policy | Page 4 of 8 |
Standard 2 | Discounts and Evaluation Products
With proper documentation and in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other Medtronic policies and guidelines such as pricing and rebate guidelines, Medtronic may provide products to Customers at a reduced or no charge, including:
| Demonstration products/Samples |
| Products or other allowances provided under a Medtronic warranty |
| Products provided at discounted pricing |
| Products sold under rebate programs |
| Pricing programs that include multiple products |
| No-charge evaluation products |
| No-charge replacement products provided as a result of a regulatory action |
| Discounts that are applied for a particular purpose |
Notification to Customers should be provided when a product or accessory is sold at a discount or provided or loaned to a Customer at no charge. This requirement can be met through a purchase agreement, invoice or other notice that reflects the discounted price or zero charge and is provided to the Customer.
For evaluation purposes, only a reasonable number of single-use or disposable products should be provided to a Customer. Products that are covered by pricing arrangements such as discounts, rebates, and warranties are not evaluation products.
Provision of capital equipment or multiple-use products free of charge must be accompanied by a written agreement addressing, among other things, term of use and return or purchase of the equipment at the end of the term, if less than the useful life of the equipment. This requirement does not apply to equipment or products that have been determined by Legal to have no independent value. Be sure to check BCS International Procedures and Playbook for additional local requirements.
Discounts, warranties, multi-line discount programs, no-charge products and accessories and other pricing arrangements should adhere to local pricing policies and procedures or be reviewed by Medtronic legal counsel before being offered.
Standard 3 | Donations, Research and Educational Grants
Purpose. Medtronic may make monetary and product donations for appropriate scientific, educational, health care, or other charitable purposes. Donations are limited to certain institutions or organizations and are not always allowed for individuals who are Customers; see the appropriate country-specific guidance for more detail.
The donation or grant may not be connected to the purchase of Medtronic products and cannot be made to influence the judgment of an individual Customer related to the institution.
Types of Grants and Donations
Educational Grants. Medtronic makes a variety of charitable contributions, including educational grants. Educational grants can include supporting an endowed chair at an academic institution, the education of fellows in recognized medical training programs, programs that educate the public on health care topics, and support for educational and policy making conferences and meetings. Educational grants are provided to institutions; not individual people. Refer to Third Party Conferences (BCS 8) for the support of medical congresses or conferences that relate to Medtronic products and therapies.
Fellowships / Scholarships. Medtronic may provide educational donations to recognized medical training institutions or professional societies for fellowships and scholarship awards (to underwrite appropriate related costs such as travel, tuition, lodging, meals, etc.) in fields associated with Medtronic products and therapies, so long as they relate to a bona fide educational need of the fellow and his or her institution.
The selection of fellows should be within the discretion of the teaching institutions at which they will be trained. Donations must be provided to either the teaching institution or the fellows home institution (where and to the extent that the teaching institution charges tuition or costs to the home institution for the fellowship program), not to individual fellows. Grants may not be tied to an institutions purchase of Medtronics products, or otherwise be based on an institutions past or potential future, undefined use of Medtronics products or services.
Scientific Research Grants. Medtronic funds scientific research including, for example, donations to support basic scientific research and general research grants to study new therapeutic uses of approved devices. However, Medtronic will not use such research for the purpose of unlawfully promoting uses of our products and therapies that have not been approved. Generally, the funding of research protocols related to Medtronic products and therapies should be carried out as an agreement under BCS 6 rather than a donation under this Business Conduct Standard. Other guidelines and requirements may apply to decisions for funding such research protocols, such as the need for review by appropriate Medtronic scientific personnel or an External Research Program board.
Fundraising Events. Medtronic may support a healthcare organizations fundraising event (for example, a golf outing or a formal gala) when the grantee is a registered charity and at least a portion of the donation qualifies for a charitable tax deduction. The tickets may be used by Medtronic employees or Medtronic guests who are not Customers, or they may be given back to the charity. See the International Procedures or U.S. BCS Playbook for more details.
Global Business Conduct Policy
| Page 5 of 8 |
Prior Approval. All Customer-related grants and donations require prior approval under BCS approval procedures before a commitment may be made to the recipient. Donation / grant requests must be reviewed to ensure that a funding proposal has a permissible purpose, regardless of the volume or value of purchases made by, or anticipated from, the recipient and that funding is not used as a reward for prior sales or inducement for future sales. In general, it is not appropriate to provide retrospective financial support for research, educational or other projects already completed. Donations made to privately owned medical institutions require careful review to ensure appropriate project budgeting for use of funds.
Standard 4 | Educational Items and Gifts
Except in the very limited circumstances below, the giving of gifts to Customers is generally prohibited. Medtronic may occasionally provide items that have a genuine educational function or benefit patients, such as textbooks or anatomical models, if they are modest in value and in accordance with the national and local laws, regulations and industry and professional codes of conduct of the country where the Customer is located. It is never appropriate to give items such as cash or cash equivalents, or personal items (e.g., clothing, perfume, iPods, iPads, iPhones, etc.).
Medtronic adheres to industry codes of ethics regarding whether it is appropriate to provide gifts to a Customer or a Customers close family member. Consult the BCS International Procedures or Playbook for country-specific standards on items that may be appropriate to give to Customers as well as monetary limits on such gifts.
The description and purpose of items given to Customers should be documented and approved on an expense report or through a comparable authorization process.
Standard 5 | Business Meetings
We conduct business meetings with Customers to discuss features or other important aspects of Medtronic products or therapies, product-related service concerns, sales terms, contracts, patient access to therapies and other business topics. We do not use business meetings to promote our products or therapies in a manner that would be inappropriate under local law.
Business Purpose. A business meeting is defined as a meeting held with one or more Medtronic employees or independent sales representatives and a Customer for one of the following business purposes:
| discussion of product features; instruction on the use or other aspects of Medtronic products, therapies or services; |
| product or service-related concerns; |
| sales terms; |
| contracts; |
| coding and reimbursement; |
| patient access to therapies; or |
| other bona fide scientific, educational or business topics relevant to Medtronic. |
Often, these meetings occur at or close to the Customers place of business and require either time away from the clinic or a commitment of the Customers non-working time. We host such business meetings only at settings that are conducive to bona fide scientific, educational or business discussions. In addition to providing occasional modest meals and refreshments in connection with such meetings, when necessary we may pay for reasonable travel costs and modest lodging of meeting attendees. Costs for such meetings must be in accordance with the respective country limits.
Plant tours and other such product- or manufacturing-oriented business meetings with Customers must follow the processes that have been previously reviewed and approved by Compliance/Legal. See the applicable BCS International Procedures or Playbook for more detail.
For more guidance on meals provided in the context of a third-party conference or training session, see BCS 7 or BCS 8, as appropriate.
Entertainment. Medtronic may not provide or pay for any entertainment or recreational event, such as golfing, attendance at sporting events, theatre, etc. for a Customer. This includes paying for, contributing to or holding parties for Customers for the purpose of celebrating a non-business event, such as a holiday, retirement, promotion, etc.
Expense Reporting. For payment of meals/transport, it is the responsibility of the involved employee and the employees manager to confirm the appropriateness of the type and amount of the event. The description and purpose of meals and related transportation should be documented and approved on an expense report or through a comparable authorization process.
BCS Spending Limits. For detailed information on meal limits, please see the BCS International Procedures or Playbook.
Standard 6 | Services Arrangements
Business Purpose and Need. Services agreements with Customers must be entered into only where a specific, legitimate business purpose and need for services in the areas of training and education; product research and development; advisory services; or clinical research is identified in advance and documented. For example:
| Agreements to obtain services from Customers must match the business need of a specific project for required services. |
Global Business Conduct Policy | Page 6 of 8 |
| Research or Clinical Trial Agreements to conduct non-clinical or clinical research, including post-market outcome studies, must be based on a demonstrable need for data. |
| Intellectual Property agreements must be based on a Customer having made, or the expectation that a Customer will make, a novel, significant, or innovative contribution to the development of a product, technology, process or method. |
Limitations. The use of Customer service providers is limited:
| Customer service providers may not be paid to endorse or otherwise recommend the purchase, use or ordering of Medtronic products. |
| Customer service providers may be retained to speak, write and present training and education programs, but are subject to local legal restrictions on product promotion. |
See the BCS International Procedures and Playbook for more detail on the process required to be followed in advance of entering into discussions with a Customer about a potential agreement.
Selection of Customer service providers must be on the basis of the Customers qualifications, expertise and capacity to address the identified purpose. While it is possible that the qualifications for a task could include experience with, usage of, or familiarity with a Medtronic product or therapy, the selection of a Customer service provider may not be used to reward past usage or constitute an unlawful inducement.
Compensation may not exceed the fair market value of services provided. Fair market value must be assessed in accordance with requirements of the country where the Customer normally practices (in the case of an individual Customer) or is located (in the case of an institutional Customer). Compensation must be structured on a measurable basis, such as payment based on a daily, hourly or per-project rate, deliverables or milestones. Compensation paid to a Customer service provider may not be based on the volume or value of the Customers past, present or anticipated business.
Services agreements must be in writing, must describe all services to be provided, must be approved in advance following the appropriate process and signed by the parties, including an appropriate Medtronic approver as indicated in the BCS International Procedures or Playbook, and entered into prior to the start of services and payment. Agreements providing for general services or services on an as-needed basis with payment prior to receipt of services (retainer agreements) are prohibited. In addition to the written agreement, the responsible business person must maintain accurate files documenting the services or intellectual property received in exchange for Medtronics payments.
Any reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses should be paid, whenever possible and practical, directly to the hotel, airline, and travel agency and not to the Customer. If not paid directly, any reimbursement should be supported by original receipts or other supporting documentation. No payments for the Customers family members are permitted. Medtronic should not arrange for the travel or lodging of a Customers guests or family members.
Consultant Meetings. The venue and circumstances for meetings with consultants should be appropriate to the subject matter of the consultation. Hospitality that occurs in conjunction with a consultant meeting should be modest, in accordance with the respective country limits, and should be subordinate in time and focus to the primary purpose of the meeting.
Medtronic must comply with applicable national and local laws with regard to the disclosure, transparency or approval requirements to any third parties associated with engaging Customers as service providers. See the BCS International Procedures and Playbook for local requirements as well as the detail on compensating for travel time.
Standard 7 | Training and Education
Purpose. Medtronic may organize sessions with Customers for the purpose of instruction, education and training to explain the safe and effective use of Medtronic products. This education and training includes hands on product training as well as education on topics associated with the appropriate use of our products, therapies and related services and support programs. This may involve training and education on:
| how to use or implant a Medtronic product; |
| indications or therapies appropriate for use of a Medtronic product; |
| the technical features, properties, quality and/or design characteristics of a Medtronic product; |
| disease states treated by Medtronic products; |
| the benefits and risks of use of the product and appropriate precautions for use; |
| the appropriate use of the product in the continuum of care; and |
| product-related reimbursement support and economic outcomes. |
Training and education must generally constitute a substantial majority of the program on each program day.
Appropriate Setting. Training and education programs are to be conducted in appropriate settings - places that are conducive to the programs training and education purpose, convenient for the attendees and reasonable in cost. See the BCS International Procedures or Playbook for more detail on appropriate training locations.
Travel Expenses. Where appropriate, we subsidize Customers expenses to travel to Medtronic-conducted training and education programs. Lodging, setting, meals and refreshments provided in conjunction with training and education programs must be modest and in accordance with the applicable country limits and must not overshadow the training and education purpose of the program.
Global Business Conduct Policy | Page 7 of 8 |
Payments to Customers to conduct Medtronic training and education sessions and reimbursement of travel expenses must be under a written agreement and in accordance with BCS 6. Medtronic may not pay an honorarium fee for simply attending a Medtronic training and education event.
Prior Approval. Training and education programs involving Customer travel must be reviewed and approved according to a written process that requires prior approval of the course content, agenda (covering all events from arrival to departure), budget, location/venue types and numbers of attendees and faculty. Agenda items may not include uses of our products or therapies that would be inappropriate under local law, nor may agendas include entertainment or recreation.
Faculty may include qualified Medtronic sales personnel, other Medtronic technical experts, as well as healthcare professionals with the proper qualifications and expertise to conduct the training and education.
Standard 8 | Third-Party Conferences
Purpose. Medtronic may support independent educational, scientific and policymaking conferences and professional meetings that promote scientific knowledge, advance the practice of medicine and enhance the delivery of effective healthcare if they are generally recognized and respected within the medical community and relate to our products and therapies. The rules and practices in supporting third party conferences vary greatly by geography, but regardless of region, Medtronic never provides funding support for purposes of rewarding a Customers past purchases or improperly influencing future ones.
Rules for Funding Conferences by Medtronic U.S.
Conferences in the U.S. Medtronics funding must be consistent with the rules of the body accrediting the educational activity. This means:
| Faculty selection and content development must be at the sole discretion of the conference organizer; |
| Medtronic does not directly support the attendance of U.S. Customers at U.S. conferences by paying admission fees, honoraria or travel and lodging. |
However, Medtronic may provide grants to conference organizers to reduce overall conference costs, defray faculty costs and expenses, support modest meals or receptions and allow attendance by healthcare professionals-in-training, or Medtronic may give a grant to a training institution to allow an HCP-in-training to attend a third-party conference or professional meeting.
Conferences outside the U.S. Proposed sponsorship of such conferences requires review under the BCS process in the geography of the conference site. See the BCS Playbook for further detail, including the rules on U.S. Customers attending third-party conferences occurring outside the U.S.
Rules for Funding Conferences by Medtronic International
Where permitted under national and local laws, regulations and professional codes of conduct, and with prior approval, Medtronic may provide financial support to cover the cost of conference attendance by individuals who are Customers. Such financial support should be limited to the conference registration fee and reasonable travel, meals and accommodation costs relating to attendance at the event. Medtronic must ensure full compliance with national and local laws with regard to the disclosure or approval requirements associated with such sponsorship and where no such requirements are prescribed, shall nevertheless maintain appropriate transparency, for example, by requiring prior written notification of the sponsorship is made to the hospital administration, the individual Customers superior or other locally-designated competent authority.
Note that Eucomed has established a process to approve conferences occurring in Europe which Medtronic will use as a guide for determining conference support. See the International Procedures for further detail.
Standard 9 | Activities Benefiting Patient Care
Reimbursement Support. Patient access to our products and therapies depends on the availability of timely and complete coverage, reimbursement, and health economic information. Where appropriate, Medtronic may provide this information to Customers, payors and patients, provided such reimbursement support is accurate, objective and related to Medtronic products, therapies, procedures and services. We may also collaborate with Customers, patients and organizations representing their interests, to achieve government and commercial payor coverage and adequate reimbursement levels that allow patients to access Medtronic products and therapies.
Medtronic-provided reimbursement support may never suggest mechanisms for either billing for services that are not medically necessary or that facilitate fraudulent practices to achieve inappropriate reimbursement.
Other Activities to Support Patient Access. Medtronic also undertakes other activities to support patient access to our products and therapies to improve patient outcomes. Medtronic may engage in market development activities and conduct educational and awareness programs with its customers. In addition, Medtronic may provide health and disease management programs that include the provision of items, services and provider and patient health management tools such as critical pathways, remote monitoring and patient compliance and education support.
